Why Medrecruit
Medrecruit is a medical recruitment agency with a difference. We make a difference in the lives of doctors by changing how medicine works and having a real-world impact on communities across Australia and New Zealand.
Medrecruit has the largest network of jobs in Australia and New Zealand, double the next largest agency. This provides you with the highest chance of getting the right role, and our scale provides you with a hiring advantage as many employers come to us exclusively before going to market.
We make the process as easy as possible. Some agencies have recruiters do everything. However, one person can’t be the best at all functions so we have specialist teams, combined with technology, to make each stage of the process as smooth as humanly possible.
In 2017, Our founder, Dr Sam Hazledine successfully lobbied the World Medical Association to amend the Declaration of Geneva (the modern-day Hippocratic Oath) to include: I WILL ATTEND to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.
Since then Medrecruit has continued to advocate for, educate, and work towards better health and well-being for all healthcare professionals. Medrecruit is built for doctors, by doctors.
Medical Student FAQ's
To pay the bills you can do any job which fits your studies as a medical student, but if you want something in the field here are some options: healthcare assistant or care worker, a receptionist at a hospital, dental practice, or GP clinic, health journalist, or medical research work.
Yes, you can work (although not as a doctor). However, part-time of casual work is recommended as there is a lot of study involved and students can burnout.
Once they complete their Bachelor's Degree in medicine, register with APHRA, and become a Resident Medical Officer. An RMO is a doctor in PGY-2 who works for public hospitals to gain clinical experience after their first-year internship. They work under the supervision of more senior medical specialists.
